VLC Remote Control Shell Scripts

iTunes Backup and Restore Rating Scripts

Since iTunes Library keeps crashing occasionally I was searching for a way to preserve all metadata. The tags are safely stored inside the files. Only the rating is not. That's what my script does - it backups the rating into the (at least for me) useless BPM-Tag. It's also an script for restoring into rating included. You may File:BackupRatingToBPMTagAppleScript0001.zip the scripts here. They're free! (Best installed at /Library/iTunes/Scripts/) ||

iTunes Control Scripts (for remote shell like ssh)

I needed a way to control my iTunes running on my other Mac - since I found nothing which fits my needs I made up my own (as usual). The scripts can show all details of the current track, control iTunes (volume, play, pause, quit, next, previous) and set rating for current song. You may File:ITunes.tgz the scripts here. They're free!

Mount-O-Matic

Mount-O-Matic was originally planned as a Cocoa Application but it turned out to be a easy task in AppleScript. It's purpose is to automatically mount EtherShare, Netatalk or Mac OS X Server volumes. You may ask why this is necessary! That's easy Since Chooser is gone, there's no easy way to do this, Volumes with Umlauts in it can't be mounted with Startup Items, For every server a window is opened (nasty). Visit cocoa-co.de for details or just File:MountOMatic.zip. ||
